I personally didn't know I'd be getting 3 episodes at once, so that was a really great surprise!

How'd you like the new episodes?

Pretty good so far, only watched the first 2 though. But we already got 2 new characters with Jerry and Cravensworth's New Man

I went to a premier screening last night as I worked on the show. I was hoping for more laughs in the theatre. I hope the season fleshes out. I find this show has very funny episodes, and kinda flat episodes.

I liked Jerry as a plot device to stir up all the shit with the household, keeps it from getting stagnant.

Absolutely. The non-sense we would be asked to do daily ("hey we need a sex table for a practical effect so Colin Robinson's face can appear on the back of Nadia's head while Laszlo rails her in the kitchen.") makes it hard to get bored.

The sets were all a treat, especially the Lab and Cannon Capital Office for this year.

I'm excited for some upcoming episodes.

The cast of the show is great, are they going around being funny during down times / off set? I've been a Matt fan since seeing Garth Mahrengi's Darkplace long ago. But they are all great in those roles. Would loved to have seen Richard Ayoade guest star also.

I was hoping since season 1 that they would have Richard on, he'd make a great energy vampire.

The cast was very kind, though my department isn't on set much so it would just be brief hallway or parking lot interactions. Matt Barry was always a gentleman, holding doors while we dragged scenery through. And Harvey always said hi as he passed even though he knew none of us. I can speak to all of them, but it's a repeat of "had minor contact, they were lovely people".
